It’s Robin’s birthday. I’ve lost my bet with Kevin. The Kindle is surrendered, at least until I finish the novel.

On the other hand, getting up at 7:15 every morning and writing at the same time as some other people scattered around the globe means I get at least a thousand words a day written (which is a lot better than my thousand words a week before). Which means I can calculate out that I should be finished by October 1st or possibly earlier.

I’m trying not to dwell on how late in the year October 1st seems. But I would like to finish a novel in less than a year from start to finish someday. This one, I started when Robin was about six months old…

Anyhow, I’m happy with how well I’m doing, even if I need to start going to bed even earlier, probably at the exact same time Robin does. Hopefully the writing doesn’t suck.

Perhaps there’ll be a post about the 2 year old later. But there’s a youtube video while you wait, if you haven’t seen it on Facebook already. It has a bit of sound, but it’s pretty quiet. Cathy took it on her camera.
